Hiawatha is a very small community, but it is very strong. Being an outsider, it is hard to get accepted as everyone knows everyone already, but that is the fun of it. I have had great teachers, who I have had for multiple years, and they are great. Small community string.

My experience at Hiawatha High School has been really good , it is a small school but has a good system and organization , so the students and employees have a good enviroment to learning and teaching respectively . I like Hiawatha because the teachers are good and they treat the students really well , always trying to help and I also like the size of school because they have enough space to study and do sport activities.
